Bromination is herein exploited to promote the emergence of elastic behavior in a short peptide—SDSYGAP—derived from resilin, a rubber‐like protein exerting its role in the jumping and flight systems of insects. Elastic and resilient hydrogels are obtained, which also show self‐healing behavior, thanks to the promoted non‐covalent interactions that limit deformations and contribute to the structural...
Supramolecular Chemistry
In article number 2200807, Pierangelo Metrangolo and co‐workers report the emergence of elasticity in a short peptide sequence—SDSYGAP—derived from resilin, upon bromination of the tyrosine residue. Bromine‐mediated halogen bonds act as non‐covalent crosslinks between nearby peptide strands, favoring the formation of elastic hydrogels in which such crosslinking points limit...
